Welker is no different than any other WR.
Teams don't not sign good WRs because they don't have Tom Brady.
the market for him is going to be limited. which is exactly why the pats haven't signed him as with time, the price will come down some.
and if he does get a big deal somewhere, good for him and all the best. that $$ then will be well spent on someone like bowe and then backfill the posession WR with someone else.
I disagree with totally revamping the passing game right after having the 2nd most productive passing season in NFL hisory. Welker is and has been the focal point of that passing game.
Perhaps instead of worrying about what skills other receivers who produce less have than Welker doesnt you should be looking at the skills Welker has that no one else does, because that has been the focal point of our offense.
